This is a short tale of the goddess of life and harvest and the goddess of hunger and famine. How they could either destroy one another, or become each others salvation.

I really enjoyed the time I had with this book and the only thing I was left wanting for was more. Which is a little ironic. The writing was really good and the pacing was solid all the way through, which are always things I care most about. And of course a good plot as well which this didn’t slack on either. I will definitely be interested in checking out more of Ariana Ferrante’s workin the future.

Thank you netgalley for the arc!

Food for Thought is a short and fast-paced novella about Demeter and Limos. It was an interesting approach to the well-known story. I really liked it. Thanks to NetGalley and Brigids Gate Press for an ARC in return for my honest review.

This was a great introduction to Limos, a Greek Goddess who I had not previously heard of. I really loved the beginning of the story where a mortal man calls on her for aid and we get to see her power at work. I loved the description of Limos' unsettling appearance and it felt like the beginning of a creepy horror novella.
In the second half, when Demeter becomes involved, I felt that the pace started moving too fast, with the development in the relationship between the two goddesses happening quite abruptly. I also thought that the resolution to the plot sort of happened with no real actions by either of these characters.
Overall I really enjoyed it, but I think it should have been longer to allow for a slower build-up in the character development.

This was an intriguing little novella! I enjoyed getting to know Limos and would enjoy reading a full length novel version of this story. Thanks to NetGalley and Brigids Gate Press for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Thank you Netgally and the author for sending me this ARC! I really enjoyed this story. It was nice and light in terms of pages so it was very easy to get through. That being said, I wish this book had more horror tied into it. It could be really interesting to have a classic tale turned horror/gore. That part of the book is what I gravitated towards most and wanted more of, everything else was pretty simple and straightforward. I knew what was going to happen to the daughter and the end of the story.

Thank you Netgalley for the opportunity to read this story in exchange for an honest review. It's too short and I want more! I love this story. I loved the play on a classic tale. I loved the star-crossed lovers type trope. I loved the characters. This was a quick but great read and honestly I just want more of it. I want to see how the relationship blooms with time. I want to watch these two Goddesses develop more.
